When Hugh Jackman announced he would be taking some of his Greatest Showman songs on the road, in the shape of his first ever world tour, 'The Man. The Music. The Show', fans couldn't contain their excitement. The tour will also feature songs from Les Miserables along with other classic Broadway and film songs.

Now, the excitement continues as Hugh has revealed the massive names he would like to see join him on tour. Whilst these big names haven't yet been confirmed, Hugh has revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, that he would like to see the likes of P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Taron Egerton and even James Corden on tour with him!

The actor explained, "I would love Pink to come and do 'A Million Dreams' with me. She sang it for The Greatest Showman's Reimagined soundtrack. We're actually going to be on tour at the same time in Europe, so I'd love for her to come and sing a little harmony for 'A Million Dreams' with me."

The Greatest Showman star continued, "I'd also love to have Kelly Clarkson and Taron Egerton, who plays Elton John in Rocketman. He has a voice like you cannot believe. The original cast of Oklahoma!, I'd love to reunite with for the show's 21st anniversary.

"James Corden, I've asked him if he'll come on. He'd be so much fun! I would love to have them all come, and loads of other people."

Hugh Jackman announced his tour last month and it will take place at four UK dates across May and June 2019, including shows at the Manchester Arena, Birmingham's Resorts World Arena and London's 02 Arena.

Hugh played the role of showman P. T. Barnum in the 2017 movie The Greatest Showman. The film has smashed box office records, with the songs becoming massive hits around the world.

Now take a look through the best films from 2017 according to Empire magazine:

20. The Lost City Of Z

2013's The Immigrant is sadly still waiting for a UK release, so praise be to the cinematic gods that James Gray's The Lost City Of Z arrived without delay. Based on the true-life tale of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), this dense but always gripping biopic is part political drama, part family drama and part adventure.
On discovering the remnants of an indigenous society, Fawcett spent his life trying to prove his Amazonian finds until his unexplained disappearance in 1925. Containing one of the most beautiful scenes of the year, this undseen gem deserves, nay, demands your attention.

We caught up with James Arthur recently where he told us about how the music video for 'Rewrite The Stars' with Anne-Marie came about.
